The '''Breadbug''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. This creature resembles a bread roll in appearance, and is the namesake of the [[Breadbug family]]. It holds the [[Space Float]] ship part in ''Pikmin''. It does no harm to the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly, though it can pull away small objects (in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']]), or both small and rather large (in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'') objects vital to the Pikmin into its dwelling. If Pikmin are holding onto something when the Breadbug pulls it into its nest, they will die. It has a large amount of tough blubber, making it immune to [[Group move|swarming]]. A larger version of this enemy, called the [[Giant Breadbug]], appears alongside these enemies in an area in ''Pikmin 2'' | {{todo|Is it possible to find a formula that dictates the amount of Pikmin strength needed to carry a dragged object?}} | ||

If Pikmin are holding onto something when the Breadbug pulls it into its nest, they will die. It has a large amount of tough blubber, making it immune to [[Group move|swarming]]. In ''Pikmin 2'', Breadbugs heal themselves completely when they drag an object into their hole, and when killed, any treasures dragged to their lair will respawn above it as it disappears. A larger version of this enemy, called the [[Giant Breadbug]], appears alongside these enemies in an area in ''Pikmin 2''. | |||

The Onion or the Ship receives the object and the Breadbug takes damage by banging its head on the Onion/Ship. This method usually has to be done twice, though the first hit is so strong, it may just take one Pikmin [[throw]]n on its back to finish it off. | ||
It is also possible to defeat a Breadbug by throwing Pikmin on top of it, but this is slow as there is a period of immunity after each successful throw. The members of this species encountered in ''Pikmin'' move more swiftly than those in ''Pikmin 2'', making them even more difficult to kill via this method. Using [[Purple Pikmin]] makes this method faster since their heavy weight will hurt the Breadbug, and they also try to home in as they land. | It is also possible to defeat a Breadbug by throwing Pikmin on top of it, but this is slow as there is a period of immunity after each successful throw.
